Spotify launches in Italy, Portugal and Poland. Is Asia next?
Hot on the heels of launching in Italy, Portugal and Poland today, is Spotify looking to finally launch in Asia in the coming months? Spotify’s latest market launches in these three countries brings the total number of countries launched since 2008 to 20. Whilst not many compared to the likes of Deezer, who are now in more than 180 countries, Spotify’s country launches usually receive higher media attention. The person carrying the baton for Spotify is no stranger to the scene in Asia. Sriram Krishnan, whom Spotify hired a year and a half ago, is tasked to manage the new market launches in this part of the world. Spotify also recently announced that it is hiring in Singapore and Hong Kong. Both country positions are ad-sales related, indicating the Spotify is preparing to start monetizing from their potential user base via advertising. Hopefully, we won’t be waiting too long for Spotify to arrive in this part of the world. Music industry insiders have also been craving for Spotify’s presence in the region; Spotify is allegedly the second largest revenue source for labels worldwide and CEO Daniel Ek recently remarked on how it plans to pay out US$500 million to rights owners in this year alone.
With Deezer rapidly launching in new markets and its recent change in strategy to provide freemium, ad-supported subscriptions worldwide, will Spotify respond soon by taking a stronger hold of Asia and especially Southeast Asia?

Spotifyがイタリア、ポルトガル、ポーランドでローンチ。次はアジアでローンチか?
Spotifyが今日、イタリア、ポルトガル、ポーランドでローンチ ーー 今後数か月のうちに、遂にアジアでもローンチされるのか?

これら3か国でSpotifyがローンチされ、2008年以降に同サービスがローンチされた国の数は合計で20か国になった。世界180か国以上でサービスを展開するDeezerのようなサービスと比較するとその数は多くないが、Spotifyが各国でローンチされるときにはメディアの大きな注目が集まる。同社の指揮を取る人物はアジアの同業界では有名な人だ。Spotifyが1年半前に雇ったSriram Krishnan氏は、アジア地域の新たな市場で同サービスをローンチする任務を司る。Spotifyは最近、シンガポールと香港で人材を募集していることも発表した。
シンガポールと香港で募集しているポジションは広告販売関連で、同社が広告経由で将来のユーザーからマネタイズを始める準備をしていることが伺える。Spotifyがアジアに上陸するまであまり長くかからなければいいのだが。
音楽業界の人もアジア地域にSpotifyがローンチされることを切望している。Spotifyは世界のレコード会社にとっては2番目に大きな収入源となっていると言われており、CEOのDaniel Ek氏は最近、同社が今年だけで5億ドルものお金をライセンス所有者に支払うという計画に関するコメントをしている。
Deezerはサービスを新規市場で素早くローンチしていき、最近ではフリーミアムの広告付きサービスを提供するという戦略の変更を行っているが、Spotifyはアジア市場 ーー特に東南アジアーー をよりしっかりと掴んで対応していくことができるのだろうか?
